The followingletter written by a colored
clergyman to:_-his son, is One of the most re-
markable compositions, in some respects, we
have ever met, and is worthy of being pre—
served as a specimen of shrewd moral phi-
Tomphy, sentenlious wisdom and felicitous
expressions:
[From the Chrlotian Becorder.]
Dre Turner to his Oldest Son.
John Payne Turner : = ‘
Dean~ SON.-—'Twenty-one years ago this
morning, at six o'clock, you were born into
this tt-Odblesome and evanescent world". And
in never the fact that this is your birthday ,
--a day thatwill be ever memorable among‘
the events of ”Elite: as you will this day
assume command of your owu person and
destiny. and thereby release me from a
twenty-one year responsllility—it was my
full intention to be present this morning,
congratulate you upon your arrival at man—
hood maturity, give yous father's advice and
benediction,put a little finance in your band,
lead you out of the gate. point you to a cold
and deceptive world, and wish you success
in the fearful struggles that await you. But
the duties of my ofiice compel me to be
absent from my home tO-day, and I‘have
made it the. rule of my ministerial life to
some the wants of my church in preference
to my Own. This day ushers you into man-
hood," It throws upon the world another
responsible being, who must end his days as
a gentleman or as a miserable wreck—as an
heir of heaven or a subject of the damned.
You must, either be a blessing to the world
‘or a curse to mankind, for there is no midi-
"die or neutral ground. And' rememder,'uo
man has a right in this world to enjoy its
comforts, blessings and luxuries and leave it
as bad as he found it. A man whose aim of .
life is no higher than the mere gratification
of his animal passions, such as eating,
drinking and parading a few cheap clothes,
is but little more than a human brute, and
must ultimately take ,his place at the foot
of society. This morning twenty—one
years ago, after learning that a man‘child
was born, who, likely, in the providences of
God, would bfirmy’name' til-coming ages, I
kneltghefore heaven ; and invoked its favor;
upon you and promised to do ‘ Ill in my
power to train you fer a useful life ands
happy detah. This promise I haye faithfully
kept". ' [have set before you the highest ex:

I am glad you abhor liquor and can say
you never tasted it. May you never any less.
a precionl oldgrnndrnoth’er taught me to
smoke when a boy, by lighting her pipe,
which habit I have never. conquered ; but 1
have ever held it up before you as 'anevil, if
not a crime. I still warn you against the
habit; it will doyou no good, but much
harm. Let tobacco alone in all its forms, is
the advice of One who has used it for years.
and has examined its Ideleterions effects,
upon the human constitution as few have
been able and hopgg ultimately to rid himself
of it. -
I hope you will marry before you are twen~
ty-fofllirtWenty-five at farthest. Remember
it is she before God and a crime upon soci-
ety to live singl . The first thing God did
after creating man—:was to institute matri-
mony. and under all reasonnblecircumstan—
cos it is honorable; but most terribly dis—
honorable not to comply with it. Bachelors
are public nuisances. 'Married. pedple live
longer, have better health, get rich faster,
enjoy life more, are more respected, are held
in higher estimation generally and are for
more useful to society. But do not goto

only when he can find ‘ it lying ,on the
ground. If you feel your inability to susfi
tain some of these dressy misses who have no
thought but to'prlmp and flirt, then go into .
the country and get a'girl who has been
trainedto'ha‘r‘d work. She will appreciate
the recognition, respect an intelligent means
you pretend to be,'and in many instances
they will prove _to be the purest and best
wives anyway. _. _ .
You- are named! after two great men...
John, after BishOpJ'Ohn It. Brown,who was
my Presiding Elder atthat time, and Payne,
after Bishop Payne, who was my Presiding
Bishop at the time. They both, 'too,ofilclat'ed_
at your bap‘ll’sm. . "-I hope you will emulate
their great lives and try t'dbe'e'qually' useful.
But to ever be that will require years of
persistent study and work. Some ignorant
lsguards will tell you that too much study
5 dangerous; that it will” throw your mind
out of gear, run you crazy, and such other
nonsense.‘ I never heard of a colored per—
son going-crazy from study since I have
been born. nor any one else, except persons
who were born with feeble constitutions or
some herekitary disease, and they will go
crazy as soon soon 0ch love or jealousy as
the deepest question that ever engaged the
human mind. No man possessing a sound
body will ever go . cmy. unless he impairs
it with strong drink or violates the laws of
nature in some other way. You have
studied physiology and the' laws of hygiene,
so live by the instructions imparted and fear
no danger. '
Remember that thoughts make men what.
ever they are, Great thoughts make great
men, little thoughts make little men, mean
thoughts make mean men and good thoughts
make good men, and if you ever expect to
be a great man, you must think greatly,
seek the companionship of great minds, and
if you cannotfind such company in person,
you can always find them in books. You can
converse with the mightiest men of every age
through their writings.
I believe you have 'a very respectacle li—
brary now. Should. you and more before
you are able to purchase them. I have thous.
node of volumes and will loan you good
books with pleasure, provided you take good
care of them, and return them, for my books
are no longer yours. To—day you relinquish
all claims upon my property till 1 die, then
if anything is left you are entitled _to your
share. 2 '
I believe you have the reputation of being
generally smart, provident and economical.

loafer; but should you ever turn out tobc
one, bear in mind you can never loaf around
me. Twenty—one years is long enough
for me to bother with boys; and then they
must pay. their way and, meet all their own
expenses. Hereafter, when fyou are at
my house you will _either be there as a
boarder or a visitor, and I shall so recognize
you. . .
You were baptised by Bishop Payne and
Brown in Water Chapel, Baltimore, some
time in June, the same year of your birth.
Youwill find your name there on the re—
cords. of the church, according to our church
rules. You have been a member of the A.
2M. E. Church from then till now. You had
better write to the pastor of said church
and resume yOur membership, or ask for a
.letter to some other church, otherwise after
six months you will be liable to expulsion,
for I am no longer your spuosr. The pastOr
of Waters Chapel is your pastor and spiritual
adviser. ,
Iam glad that you, like myself, believe
that the time has arrived when we, of this
country,should awake to the moral and intel-
lectual wants of Africa. Our people, as a
race, are asleep upon thut subject. I hope
you will agitate that question, in common
with others,till the blinded eyes of our people
shall be opened to one of the gravest sub-
jects that can possibly arreSt our attention.
I do not mean emigration there in mass, but
the putting forth of efforts for the moral and
intellectual enlightment of that darkened
continent.~ .
If you want your name woven into song
and history when you are dead, become an
African Explorer, geologist, mineralogist, or
something that will enlighten the world
upon her resources, or make‘you in part
her benefactor, and a thousand years from
to—daythc name of John P. Turner will be
known from pole to pole, and frOm shore to
shore.
'.Now, to God the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit, I commend your soul and body, and
may the blessings of the same crown you
life with a glorious care, is the prayer of
your father, H. M. Tnnnnn.

, Something worth Having.
Miraculous inventions are the order of the.
day. Even Edisonhas been surpassed by a
genius who, has invented what is called a
“Married Man‘s Indicator." It is a wonder-
fully sensitive arrangement of the ordinary
thermometer, in convenient pocket size, and
is graded to a scale of cabalistic marks;
which show the cxac‘state of the domestic
‘atmOspherc atsny hour of the night. The
hard-worked and belated husband arrives
home, say about midnight. He takes out.
his “indicator,” thrusts it in the key-hole
and leaves it there' a few seconds. Pulling.
it out quickly, he scans the dial by the moon
boots noiselessly; uses his night~key with
bated breath; gives the door a. quick above
to keep it from creeking steals trembingly to
bed._and when his dear little wifey wakes up
If the “indicator” scores “A. A. 0-.‘B. D.
, K. W. T.” (cwake. awful cross, but does
3 not know what time it is,) the husband puts
a few more grains of coffee in his mouth;
opens the door boldly; walks in with a slam
bang air,hits font intentionally against'a chair
ain’t kept out of the way; gets desperately
mud on general principles; scares his wife
clear out of her _crossness and intended cur-
tain lecture refuses to let her get up and
strike a match—never did like a light at
night, nohow; remarks gruflly In response
to a timid query that t‘it’s about twenty-five
minutes after ten,” and then turns into bed
with such an apparently awful state of mind
that the wife of his bosom is afraid to
speak to him—at which he is very sad, of
course.
There are numerous other marks on the
indicator, snowing just where it will do to
-“play the lodge dodge” or the “sick friend,”
ior “been standing on the corner talking with
,so and. so for more than an hour,” or
' “General‘or Honorable this or that from
you know whqre, was in town, and had to
go away on the two o’clock train, and he
insisted so strongly. that' the whole party
stayed up to see him Off, although he was a
great here, and we only did it through court-
“Ya" '
But the most awfully awful of all the
cabalisTic signs or: the dial is the one at the
top, about two marks above boiling point.
Whén the weary husband comes home about
four a. m. from the direction of the butcher
shop, with a roll of meat held high in the
air, so that every one he passes cannot fail
to see it, and sticks the “indicator” in the
keyhole, he is almost to weak to draw it out.
With hair on end he reads it by the faint
light streaming in upon him over the eastern
hills, and sweat brakes out on his noble brow
in drops as large as, walnuts, has he sees the
bulb of thej'ihdioator jammed . ‘smack 'up
hgsinst “R; H; s. H. w. F.‘Y. J. I. '1'." (red

fortune overtakes a man _ be feels that thore

tiful lines.
“This world is all a fleeting show,

; He slings the meat :out into the yard, and
braces himself for the coming fray, but says
nothing, for nothing can be said. Be he
ever so gifted a liar, his accomplishment is
more than valuelesg. . No lodge,no sick friend,
.no talking on the corner, no sitting up tOsee
the general off. no swearing that. he will
'never do it again—in fact, nothing will
avail. It is an absolutely indefensible case.
He is caught in flagmnte delictu. Even the
ghastly gayety with which, two hours prev-
ious, he, had said to the . boys that be
“guessed he’d see it out now—might as well
be killed for a sheep as a lamb—” had all
vanished. The indicator having told him
the exact situation of things, he know} just
what to do, and that is nothing, but get in-
to bed at once and wrap the drapery of his
couch about him, pull the pillow over his
ears and Wait for his wife’s breath to give
out. It’s awful while .it lasts, but it has its
use in relieving the unfortunate husband’s
mind of part of its load.
The indicator is a great invention, and no
family should be withOut One. _ For sale at

A Leap Year Strategcm.
A girl down in Maine has practised a
strategem that may safely be styled a new
method of utilizing leap year. She is an or-
phan hciress,pretty and impressable,her love
an attractive, but impecuniOus young man.
Two hard-heartrd uncles of the lady were
the lions in than path. Had the Maine girl
been dyspeptic she would have taken poison ;
or if silly and romantic there would have
been an elopement ;~but as she was “healthy,
wealthy and wise," shc caused a cablegram
to reach the young. man apprising him of
untold riches to which he was legally enti-
tled. Of course this news soon reached the
uncles, and equally of course their objections
to the match vanished; the twain became one
with the approbation of the guardians who
discovered when too late that “untold riches"
was a rather poetical though perfectly truth-
ful name for the love and devotion of. that
shrewd little person their neice.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLINT.
Some remurkablcfacts are being elicited
by the investigations of naturalists in Borno.
In the stems of certain plants found there
galleries are tunnelled by a species of ant,
and it is asserted 6n theauthority of Beccari
that the. presence 0f the ants is actually es—
sential to the existence of the plants for, un—
less attacked by the insects when young the
plants soon die. '
The sun’s radiation is notv‘vithout influ-
ence on the comfort of the occupants of a
house, and the influence may be very differ.
ently felt, according to the exposure of
houses. In a building unaffected by any
shade Herr Vogt recently made a series of
experiments to determine the relative amount
of the sun’s heat daily entering the different .
sides. ‘ He obtained the surprising result that:-
mre heat enters a building through the cast
and west walls than through the walls fac-
ing directly south, although the south side is
exposed to the direct action of'thcsun's rays
nearly twice as long as either of of the
others. Aconsiderably greater quantity of
heat is received by the cast than by the west
side. . ,
The St. Gothard tunnel furnishes another
striking example of accurate surveying. Al—
though the entire length of the tunnel is nine
and aquartcr miles, the two galleries were
bored with such precision that they met
with a difierenec of only four inches in lev—
el and a lateral deviation less than eight
inches. '
The extensive studies of Dr. Decaisne,
have proven to him conclusively that im-
modcrate smoking of tobacco produces in
certain subjects—especially in women and-
children—an irregular action of the heat,‘
'which quickly disappears when the cause is
removed. , -
In cases of suspended animation. or as-
. phyxia, life should not be too soon given up.
Discussing premature burials, in a recent
communication to the French Academy,
Prof. Fort states that be was enabled to re-
store to life a child three years old by prac-
tising artificial respiration on it four hours,
after apparent death. In another case which
came under h is observation, a physician re-
stored a nearly drowned person after four
hours ‘of artificial respiration. This person
had been in the water ten minutes, and the
physician arrived one hour after the as—
phyxia.
Fish Commissioner Green notés a curious
instance of insect strategy. One day be ob-
served a mud wasp alight near {a Ispider's
nest. Creeping cautiously _aronnd towards
the entrance to the nest, the wasp stopped a
perfectly quiet. Then reaching out one of
his antennae, be wriggled it before the
opening and withdrew it. This overture
produced the desired efiect, for a large spider
quickly ran out to investigate the cause of
_the disturbance. As the spider reached the
’most favorable point for attack, the wasp
quickly sprang forward anddispatched‘his
r foe with a single ~thrust of his sting. The
wasp then repeated his feint until apparent-
ly satisfied that his assault would be met
with no further opposition, when he entered
the nest and slaughtered the young spiders,
which he afterwards carried away.
A Dundee diver has attached a telephone
to his helmet and tested it during submarine
operations with very satisfactory results.
With the telephone, writing telegraph and
many other remarkable applications of chic
'tricity fresh in mind, no one seems greatly
surprised by the announcementthat not only
may speech and varieties of motion be trans
mitted telcgraphically but that form and
color also may be reproduced .at a distance
through the instrumentality of the same
potent agent. This result seems to have
been attained by the diaphote of Dr. _Sicks.
The apparatus consists of f0 ur essential parts
—the receiving mirror,the transmitting wires
an ordinary galvanic battery. and the repro -
ducing speculum. In a 1 model ‘lately cx-
hibited, the mirror was. six inches by four
in size and had seventy—two fine wires, the
latter being gathered together at a little dis-
tance behind the frame gnd covered with an
insulating material. 0n reaching the re-
ceiving speculum each little wire was con—
nected to a vivision corresponding to its
place on the mirror. ires were also run
from, the battery IO“ each diaphotic platc,
forming a circuit which could be closed at
pleasure. The theoretical action of the in-
strument appears to be as follows: The
waves of light from an object are conducted
through an ordinary camera, so that they
fall on certain divisions of the mirror when
the electric current is closed. The light in
accompanying. heat produce momentary
chemical changes in the amalgam of the mir-
ror—which consists of a peculiar compountl
of selemum and chromium. These change s
modify the electric current and cause aimi-
_lsr changes in the corresponding partitions
of the remote speculum, thus re-producing
the image, which, bya second camera, may
be seen by the eye or thrown upon ascreen.
In the your 1815, two lads, Robert H. Mc—
Curdy of Lyme, Conn, and Herman D. AI
drich from Orange county, New York, be—
came fellow clerks in a dry goods store in
New York city. The first was fifteen, the
other fourteen years old. Their employer
lived over the store, as was the custom of
that day, and the two boys were members
of his family, and occ'upied the same room
and bed. The intimate relation thus formed
was maintained through life. When they
arrived at manhood they became partners
in business, in which they acquired reputa—
tion and wealth. Each married early in life,
and until last spring occupied houses side by
side. In the more than sixty'years of this
association nothing occurred to mar the per-
feet harmony and confidence of their mu—
tnsl affection. Both died on _ the same day
from valvular disease Of the heart, and Their
funerals were attend at Calvary church in
New Yorleednesday morning week. The
solemn services of the Episcopal church
were rendered more impressive than usual,
by the strange coincidences of the occasion.
Of these venerable men it may be truthfully
said "they were loving and lovely in their
lives, and in death they were not divided."

Discreet Advertising.
A history of the foolish and unproductive
upon, the pointless and costly "N. B.’s”
thrust out at the world or which the world
has steadily refused to 'take any notice,would
,be an addition to one of the lower orders of
bibliography at once entertaining and instruc-
tive. The money which men of shrewd per-
ceptions in other matters have thrown away
in circulars to be trodden under foot, or in
sign-boards and fences to be looked at once
and then forgotten, would go far to pay the
National debt. Nothing is so useful and 'so
truly economical as a well—devised advertise-
ment ; nothing is so utterly useless and waste-
ful as an advertisement that. is not well
divised. Wise business men know that their
is no time when judicious advertising is so
certain to beproductive as that when pros-
perity is reviving, and the market is taking
an upward turn; and judicious advertising,
in the opinion of the shrewdest of them, con-
sists in the use of the best , newspapers.
Those who wish to see some interesting tcs
timony on this point can find it in the state-
ment of a well-known advertising firm, made
in other columns. I
Even those who have learned this lesson,
however, are liable to go astray in newspaper
advertising itself. A cheap advertisement is
never the best, and cannot be, for obvious
reasons. The preposterous co—operativc lists,
which are offered by a few of the poorer class
of agents, and profess to give great aggregate
circulation at an exceedingly low price, will
be found, for example, enormously deceptive
as to quantity of circulation, and still mere
deceptive as to its quality. Business men
will do well to bear this fact in mind.—N.

In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them thecheapest and best Safes now
made. ‘ , ‘
1st. Our {‘PA'I'ENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above)
' where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently in].
possible to Oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGE!) CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thmb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
311.. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. .All our Safes are IRON—LINED INSIDE,
instead of woodlined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre—
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES Instead of single or. double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we pubhshed
failed to preserve their contents, hesides those
that wgre successful, and for months chale
longed our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire ~so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, 'and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard 0 quality, and many
safes are now in use t at are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make hut one class
of-Snfes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

How the Captain’s Patent
Worked.
Having piped all bands to splice the main
brace,the csp’n had the first mate of thefarm
tow out the horse and wagon, and, ascending
' the quarter deck of the craft, he took pos-
session of the tiller ropes, (as he styled the
reins,) and said .
“Now, boys, my invention is very simple
.—I might 'make a million dollars out of it,
mebbe,but1ain’t going to patent it; you
can use it if you want to. I've simply
fastened a twenty—fathom line onto the miz-
- zen axle of the craft, and put on astout
grapnel. I shall bring this here boss along
the road under double—eeefed topsails, and
then one of you cusses scare him—open an
umbrella at him, or something; then, when
he goes tearing along about twenty.five knots
an hour, and won’t answer to his helm, I’ll
just drop the anchor and ride out the gale.
Git up i '
The horse came jogging gently down the
road, when, according to the programme.thc
first mate pushed out and hit him a belt over
the nose with a blanket. The terrified an-
imal stood on his hind legs for a moment
and then struck a course northwest by north
with great celerity. The interested specta-
tors beheld the fearless captain sitting un—
moved, though the buggy bent and careencd
before the breeze, then with a triumphant
smile they saw him heave out the anchor
with a merry “Yo, heave, he I" The grap—
uel dragged for a few moments in the treach-
erous sands of the road, then caught in a
rock. Captain Cornwall rose into the air
like a bird on the wing, and sailed majesti-
cally, alighting on his ear. The horse stood
on his head for a second, and then resumed
his onward course at the rate of at least
seventy miles an hour, and, amid a frightful
crashing,ripping,tearing and smushing,all the
wagon vanished into thin air, except a piece
of the mizzcn axle, to which the anchor had
been fastened.
Captain Cornwell can’t precisely under-
stand why, when the tackle held, he wasn’t
able to ride out the gale, but is not discour-
aged and will repeat the experiment as soon
as he has had a new buggy upon {lines of his
own designing. Life insurance canvassers
are bearing down upon him from all quar—
ters, and the liveliest interestis manifested in
the neighborhood. We wish the gallant cap.
